        I agree that it could be better but they do send a notification that an item has shipped with a tracking number. I get s notification from my bank that my CC has been charged before Schiit sends the notification tho. At least they only invoice when they ship.

        I've had Schiit just forget to sound out an order before. I've also been unimpressed with their communication and responsiveness on that and other occasions. I like the products and marketing fine, the customer service not so much.

        I think Schiit is simply becoming a larger company, and the personal touch is being lost on the logistical side.

      HD660S2: Listening to these on a well warmed Gungnir Unison > SW51+, I think they are absolutely fantastic. Zero complaints.

      Listening to Tool on the Senn IE300 on a Piety/MMB(OG) work stack. Much better than what comes out of a Macbook Pro's headphone jack.

        I like the tuning. They fit pretty comfortably well too. Pretty good staging for an IEM. Basically, it's an IE600 in a plastic shell instead of metal.

        I don't thiing they do anyting "wrong" to my ears, but I consider myself a noob at evaluations still. The bass is really nice. I don't hear bleed into the mids. Treble is on par with HD660S2 I'd say..

        I have a IE300 too, found them to be wholly inoffensive as far as peaks and treble nasties, very good mids and captivating bass. They do seem to like a bit of power to shine though.

      I think the Eclair is maybe 10-20% more holographic than the HD660S2 on the same chain. Just more engaging.

      Replaced pot in ZDT Jr. with an RK27. Much better lower volume balance. More listening time later.

        Ooh - this would be a good change for the ZDT with many headphones. I want to replace the pot on my BA, but haven't made up my mind yet. I really wish the Penny & Giles pots were still available.

        Just started listening in earnest. It sounds much closer to the SW51+ now. More air. Get Lucky made me immediately feel the need to pump the volume.

      Modi MB (2156 mod) - Asgard2 (High Gain)- MD T-X0 == Pretty damn nice. Bass is powerful. Good extension. It's a nice change of pace.

      I put the PS500x on the ZDT Jr today. Not sure about the quality, but the quantity of bass seems higher on the Grado than the HD660S2.

        That's what I experienced with the Focal Elex on the ZDT Jr. A pretty noticeable, and pleasant, bass bump. A similarly sensitive, low impedance (?) HP to the Grado?

        That is standard issue here in Germany if you order online, they claim to have initiated shipment when all they have done is paid the postage.

        When the e-series came out, the HF'ers rehashed the old argument about the drivers. I had agreed to write a mini-review of the 225e, so I called Grado Labs to ask. I asked the secretary if someone would discuss it with me. Next thing I heard was John Grado yelling, "Are you the guy who's lying about my headphones on the forums?!" I assured him that I was not. And he kindly answered all my questions for half an hour.

        The not so friendly guy tried to get $40. I gave him $15, which was probably too much, but we had never had an opportunity to interact with a monkey.
